Let me say that this Investigation did not set out to implicate the Nicaraguan Government in any illegal activity. The Nicaraguans were not targeted. Nevertheless. we feel that we have uncovered strong evidence that high officials of the Nicaraguan Government were indeed involved in the international cocaine traffick. Mr. President. I agree. There is strong evidence of high level Nicaraguan involvement in drug trafficking. How else can you explain that airplanes and airfields were available to Vaughn. or why Nicaraguan army soldiers. customs and immigration officials. and Nicaraguan Ambassadors all obeyed orders issued by Frederico Vaughn in connection with his drug trafficking efforts. orders that were witnessed by independent witnesses who corroborate one anothers testimony? Mr. President.
